I have thick strong hair but this product does not cover my grey roots why? I follow the instructions but the greys will not cover

It did not cover your roots because it is not a good product for covering roots. This is basically what I said in my review of the product. It is not good for stubborn gray. You need to find something else. A tip - if you have tough grays to cover, you can leave the die on them for up to 45 minutes. The longer you leave the die on, the better. Just try not to exceed 45 minutes.

I also have thick strong hair and grey roots, when I apply the foam I make parts in my hair to make sure the color can penetrate the roots. Hopefully this will help you too. Good luck.

Hello, No you may use this with brown hair. If you are looking for grey coverage then you will not be disappointed. I mix this with Nupur, Amla, and shikakai powder for a great condition for your hair. The amount depends on the length and thickness of your hair. To cover your grey at the same time mix 12 hours before with very warm water and a tablespoon of cider vinegar, just enough to make it thick like yogurt, this will release the dye an you will have wonderful results. Rinse your hair with cider vinegar before you apply this thick mixture. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap and leave on as long as you like. You will have a medium brown color once you are done. This will darken a touch in 2 to 4 days. I add in a couple tablespoons of Cinnamon 10 minutes before I put this in my hair. I hope this helps. =O)

I have thick hair too, one went all the way around my head but the hair doesn't curl.

For me this product never washes out of the longer strands, meaning after I shampoo, it doesn't buldge, which is why I love it. I have long hair, and the gray in my longer strands has stayed completely colored every since I started using this product after all shampoos....and I or my hairstylist just reapplies it to my new growth. (roots) which is the only place it is gray and around my front edges, which sometimes I think fades more if I accidently get it wet often when showering, which I find odd, since it has never washed out anywhere else. That's what I like most about this product as opposed to the one in the Bronze bottle, which I used for years, and always faded all over after every shampoo...BUT it will be different for different people, because everyone doesn't take color the same. I have a girlfriend whose hair will not color well with this product, and she tried another product that worked for her.

I have tried this twice and am disappointed in the results. It doesn't cover grey well, makes other hair look yellow and roots fade quickly.

The medium brown does cover gray but it matters how many times a week you wash your hair as to how long it will last. Mine lasts about 4-5 weeks but it has made my fine hair much thicker feeling. I wish I had started using this product 10 years ago. The lack of ammonia and peroxide will keep your hair on your head, where it belongs, and not on your brush or in the sink!

It does a great job covering my gray hair. You may notice that those hairs actually become more blonde, but the gray is gone.

Lacee, it works on my blonde hair, I have roots too and I've never seen any gray or white residue. It goes on matte and you just work it thru and brush your hair well afterwards.

Tim,I just sent you an answer that I thought you might need, but I may have misunderstood the quesstion. If you want to cover some gray hair and want to match your hair color, then go the the store that handles Roux product and look at their samples to see if they might match your hair color. If not then go to your hair stylist and ask what color that you need. Betty

I'm medium-brown skinned with black hair and it works great for me. It's taking longer than they estimated, but great. I think the instructions and the website says that it may not work on grey hair that well, but definitely check because I'm not well versed in that area. Good luck!

I didn't have this problem. Maybe you didn't leave the dye on long enough or didn't apply it correctly to the roots. Since one other reviewer also had your problem, you should contact the manufacturer, since there must be a difference in hair types.Ursula Behrens

You need to use 10% developer, and you are going to be very happy with the result. Trust me, I have a lot of stubborn gray hair, and I am using 10 . It covered all the gray in my roots.

I am having the same issue and I tried different things like using a hot blow dryer every 5-ten minutes so the color can take on the grays,I also tried leaving it on longer and also adding sage to the mix,using hrgrogen peroxide beforehand to soften the gray hair. I read all their instructions and although it did leave my hair nice and shiny it did not cover most of my grays and I will not be using this product ever again. i tries 4 times so i just give up and will try Tints of Nature next.

I have SOME grays and this product works to cover them in between hair coloring. I do not have enough gray/white to definitely say this should work but for the price it seems it should be worth giving it a try. I'd agree with a previous poster who suggests the darker color for all gray. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I can only give advise on grey or white hair. I think that is basically what this product is intended for. It more or less takes out the yellowing and gives your hair more shine, which I personally know is true. You may have to contact the manufacturer about your question. Sorry I can't help.

Hey Nichole! I really like the product and I suppose it will be good for that type of hair. I have long but thin hair and it does the job which makes me think it will be even better for thicker hair. Hope my answer was useful. Happy new 2015!

I have long and very thick hair. I have to divide my hair into small sections to iron it...but I have had to do this with every brand I've had. Works great on my hair.
